Python bindings to the Monasca Events API

This is a client library for Monasca built to interface with the Monasca Events API. It provides a Python API (the monasca-events module) and a command-line tool (monasca-events).

The Monasca Events Client was written using the OpenStack Heat Python client as a framework.

Ubuntu Install

Manual Install Steps:

• cd to your python-monasca-events repo
• sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
• python setup.py install

Command-line API

Installing this distribution gets you a shell command, monasca-events, that you can use to interact with the Events API server.

Usage: monasca-events

monasca-events help

monasca-events help

monasca-events -j

This outputs the results in json format.  Normally output is in table format.

Environmental Variables

Environmental variables can be sourced, or optionally passed in as CLI arguments. It is easiest to source them first and then use the CLI.

When token and endpoint are known::

export OS_AUTH_TOKEN=XXX

When using Keystone to obtain the token and endpoint::

export OS_USERNAME=
export OS_PASSWORD=
export OS_PROJECT_NAME=
export OS_AUTH_URL=
export OS_REGION_NAME=

When using Vagrant Environment with middleware disabled::

export OS_AUTH_TOKEN=82510970543135
export OS_NO_CLIENT_AUTH=1

The Monasca Events API will treat the auth token as the tenant ID when Keystone is not enabled.

You'll find complete documentation on the shell by running monasca-events help::

             <subcommand> ...

Command-line interface to the monasca-events API.

positional arguments:
  <subcommand>
    help                     Display help about this program or one of its
                             subcommands.

optional arguments:
  -j, --json                 output raw json response
  --version                  Shows the client version and exits.
  -d, --debug                Defaults to env[MONASCA_DEBUG].
  -v, --verbose              Print more verbose output.
  -k, --insecure             Explicitly allow the client to perform "insecure" SSL
                             (https) requests. The server's certificate will not
                             be verified against any certificate authorities. This
                             option should be used with caution.
  --cert-file CERT_FILE      Path of certificate file to use in SSL connection.
                             This file can optionally be prepended with the
                             private key.
  --key-file KEY_FILE        Path of client key to use in SSL connection.This
                             option is not necessary if your key is prepended to
                             your cert file.
  --os-cacert OS_CACERT      Specify a CA bundle file to use in verifying a
                             TLS (https) server certificate. Defaults to
                             env[OS_CACERT]. Without either of these, the
                             client looks for the default system CA
                             certificates.
  --timeout TIMEOUT          Number of seconds to wait for a response.
  --os-username OS_USERNAME  Defaults to env[OS_USERNAME].
  --os-password OS_PASSWORD  Defaults to env[OS_PASSWORD].
  --os-project-id OS_PROJECT_ID
                             Defaults to env[OS_PROJECT_ID].
  --os-project-name OS_PROJECT_NAME
                             Defaults to env[OS_PROJECT_NAME].
  --os-domain-id OS_DOMAIN_ID
                             Defaults to env[OS_DOMAIN_ID].
  --os-domain-name OS_DOMAIN_NAME
                             Defaults to env[OS_DOMAIN_NAME].
  --os-auth-url OS_AUTH_URL  Defaults to env[OS_AUTH_URL].
  --os-region-name OS_REGION_NAME
                             Defaults to env[OS_REGION_NAME].
  --os-auth-token OS_AUTH_TOKEN
                             Defaults to env[OS_AUTH_TOKEN].
  --os-no-client-auth        Do not contact keystone for a token. Defaults to
                             env[OS_NO_CLIENT_AUTH].
  --monasca-events-url MONASCA_EVENTS_URL
                             Defaults to env[MONASCA_EVENTS_URL].
  --monasca-api-version MONASCA_API_VERSION
                             Defaults to env[MONASCA_API_VERSION] or 2_0
  --os-service-type OS_SERVICE_TYPE
